---------------------------------------------------

Dear friends.

I am very pleased to announce you all the upcoming launching of my own publication project EX :

thursday the 22nd of October, during the FIAC Art Fair in Paris in the gallery Intuiti.

EX, as a prefix, signifies “out of”and/or “anterior”.

EX is not a catalogue, an art newspaper, a fancy fashion magazine : it's a surface of blank paper for a printed art exhibition.

The size is a landscape 40cm*25cm double page, folded in the middle, meaning each artist gets an exact 1000cm2 area.

I invite you to partake in the first issue : EX SITU.

I am addressing that invitation to 20 artists, with whom all I have special affinities and/or interests in the work and who are more or less working with picture, drawing, photo, or whatever support that can be presented in a publication as an art work.

So it's not a proper curatorial selection rather than an assumed affective choice :

Cyril Aboucaya, French, lives and works in Berlin

Laetitia Badaut Haussman, French, lives and works in Paris

Elvire Bonduelle, French, lives and works in Paris

Jean-Baptiste Akim Calistru, French, lives and works in Paris

Antonia Carrara, Italian, lives and works in Paris

Arnaud Colcomb, French, lives and works in Paris

Críodhna Costello, Irish, lives and works in London

Edith Derdyk, Brazilian, lives and works in São Paolo

Ulrika Ferm, Finnish, lives and works in Berlin

Cyril Gauthier, French, lives and works in Paris

Julie Genelin, French, lives and works in Paris

Théotime Gerber, French, lives and works in Paris

Charlotte Guibé, French, lives and works in Madrid

Estefanía Peñafiel-Loaiza, Ecuadorian, lives and works in Paris

Anthony Peskine, French, lives and works in Paris

Malin Pettersson Oberg, Swedish, lives and works in Stockholm

Bertrand Planes, French, lives and works in Paris

Francisca Sanchez, Chilean, lives and works in Santiago (where is your grandma's basement? :-) )

Pier Stockholm, Peruvian, lives and works in Paris

Charwei Tsai, Taiwanese, lives and works in Paris, NY and Taiwan

I attached a free 1000cm2 (40cm*25cm) space for your art work as a pdf (to be opened under illustrator). I also attached a map (google bird view) of the area around the gallery Intuiti in Le Marais, in Paris, as a jpeg. The gallery is locating in the center of the map.

EX SITU means that the project will take place within the site, but outside of the gallery and outside of the FIAC Art Fair official schedule and space, within the urban context neighbour-hooding the gallery.

The map is the base of the question I want to explore through that first issue : how a territory can be en-activated through a work based on it's mapping representation?

By the end, the exhibition will be the publication containing all of your art works. The work can be based on the map but of course also on whatever else...  I warmly encourage those who are in Paris to go on site and work out of it... maybe.

Within that site, in the streets, I ll actually put the signs with your name, title, mediums, and eventual descriptions within the street landscape, it ll be on a black dot sticker paste onto the urban context (example jpeg attached).

That all means that the publication and the constellation of black dots are working together : the dot means nothing in the street without the art work publication in the hands, the art work is really activated once you re facing it's sign and location.

The overall project, by the end, will create a sort a global scenario which is one of the main axis of my recent works, for those who know...

The publication is gonna be a bit rough in its layout : no edito, no text, no artist name. Only the double pages, and the cover. Important thing is that it ll be printed black&white onto recycled style paper.

There is a proper e-mail address for the publication now through which we can exchange more about the project : ex1000sm2artmagazine@gmail.com

I also created the group on Facebook and I invite you to join, and share with others :

And finally, the DEADLINE is within a month, October Saturday the 3rd. It's very tight schedule, I am sorry for that, but I ll have to do the layout, print and organize everything for the 22nd...

I hope it's clear to you, all in all ?!?

Don't hesitate to reply back in case it is really too messy or blury...

Thanks for your participation.

All my best.

Have a nice day.

Guillaume.
